I move amendment No. 5:

In page 6, between lines 4 and 5, to insert the following:"(d) the principle of climate change justice for developing countries and countries vulnerable to climate change,".

I am sure the Minister of State will agree that while climate change impacts on developed countries, it has a profound impact on developing countries, particularly in food and energy production. There are many issues we could discuss. The objective of the amendment is to ensure climate change justice would feature in the Bill such that it would have legislative backup. As I laboured this point on Second Stage, I do not propose to do so again now, but I would welcome the Minister of State's support for the amendment.
